Some of you might remember me, some not. :) I just wanted to thank all of those who prayed for me while I was inquiring and let you know that I was chrismated on November 11th! :tutu:

This forum has gotten just a little too nutty for me. Good luck to you all.

My priest forgot to do a few things that apparently had to be done the Sunday before and so now I'm not being chrismated this Sunday as planned. He emailed me to tell me this and asked how I felt about it to discern what we should do, but I got the church calendar email shortly after that and I...

I just received the oddest compliment I've gotten in a very long time. I'm at work, and I was standing up in my cubicle because a customer had just hung up on me and I was *very* annoyed. One of my coworkers looks at me and says, "You look like Mary, the mother of Jesus." "What?!" "You...

I am terribly crabby today for the following reasons: I had to come in to work an hour early to finish something by a certain time, even though I told my boss it would not take that long to finish it. And I was right. My boss is a condescending idiot with short-man syndrome. I now have to...

The 35W highway bridge full of rush hour traffic collapsed into the Mississippi river about an hour ago. All of those cars, except for a couple, are in the river. There are fires all over the place. I am from this area, I still don't know how many people are dead or if anyoen I know was on...

A highway bridge here in the Twin Cities collapsed completely into a river with a full load of rush hour traffic on it. There are at least 50 cars in the river still, multiple fires, and dozens that have already arrived at the hospitals. Please, please pray. I don't know yet if anyone I know...

Thanks for the thousand blessings. :)

This is a fun little quiz - asks a bunch of questions to see if you really are "Chalcedon-compliant". http://quizfarm.com/test.php?q_id=131773 Here were my results: Are you a heretic?You scored as a Chalcedon compliantYou are Chalcedon compliant. Congratulations, you're not a heretic...

Just 'cause I'm curious, what do y'all think of body piercing and tattoos?

I emailed my priest and told him I was sure that I wanted to join the Orthodox Church and I listed out my reasons. I fully expected to get a reply saying that I needed to wait a long time, or something like that, but...that wasn't the case. :) He said if I was staying in Minnesota, he would...

Well guys, it's been fun, but I think I'm going to head out. This means I have about 6k blessings to hand out, so I'm giving out 500 apiece to the first 13 people who can post a really awesome joke here and make em laugh, 'cause right now a good laugh would be nice.

My mom had surgery on her neck yesterday. The surgery itself went fine, but a little while after she woke up, she started having a hard time breathing and her neck started to swell up to the point that her airway was completely obstructed. They had to open up her wound again and put an airway...

My mom and I had a short discussion the other day about why I don't believe in Calvinism anymore. You would think I had just told her I am abandoning Christ or something, or that I had just grown two heads. She is insisting that I "just read this one book," which I am going to attempt to avoid...

Don't worry, I will be asking my priest about this. ;) I just thought this was really cool. Yesterday, I asked a saint to pray for me to avoid temptation in this one area and then I promptly forgot about it. Well later, I was slipping into that old habit and immediately I saw this picture...

I know that there are people dying, marriages failing, and so many other very important things to pray for, but this is kind of heavy on my heart right how even though it's so small. I had a kitten named Sam for almost a year that I grew really, really attached to and I had to give him away...

This is a variation on the game called "Three Truths and a Lie" where you write down, uh, three truths and a lie about yourself and people have to guess which is the lie. It would just be too easy with only four options, though, so I am doubling it. There are six truths and two lies, and in...

I just had this guy walk up to the desk here at work and tell me that I'm the spitting image of.... Patty Duke. I had to google her just to find out who she was. Anybody else get told that they look like some obscure celebrity?

It's yummy, and it matches my outfit! Thank you!

You know, it's really hard to get to know people on an internet forum. Partly because of the lack of body language, partly because of just the medium itself, but also partly because all the weird/fun/cute/annoying things are hidden. So what are your "quirks"? :) Here are some of mine...
